HATIK DROPS THE VIDEO FOR 'ADIEU MON AMOUR'

Image
 Hatik has released today the video for 'Adieu Mon Amour'. It marks the end of  the Chaise Plainte era. There is no better one for this big chapter. It separates from other rap songs: There is no need for talking about money,sex and drugs . It is just the emotion of a love undermined, destroyed , which is inevitably ending. Hatik combines his best poetic lyrics with his deep pain. This is reflected on the video, where the rapper uses his acting skills to bring drama. Some images seem in slow-motion as Hatik was remebering  the good times of the relationship. In contrast, the scenes where the couple is arguing are faster and shot pretending to get you involved. After rescheduling his tour to 2021 , due to coronavirus, Hatik is preparing the next album while he says goodbye to the last in his most authentic way. Director: Anne Rivoallan

 Despite suffering postponements due to COVID-19, the Coventry band seems unstoppable. After getting played for the first time on BBC Radio 1's Introducing Selection , having played for BBC Radio 1 BIG WEEKEND and celebrating the success of ' Pulling away', the band is ready for their new single, 'Numbers Game'.

HATIK'S 'ADIEU MON AMOUR' REVIEW: A GEM INSIDE THE RAPPER'S PROJECT 'CHAISE PLIANTE II'.

 Back in March, the French series Validé 's premiere and its immediate success made Hatik gain popularity. Just weeks before Validé 's release, the rapper published Chaise Pliante II , which followed up his 2019's project, Chaise Pliante. Since then , Angela , a song included in his last year mixtape, has become number one in France and has been certified Diamond single after 50 million streams. Today we focus on  Adieu, Mon Amour  ( Chaise Pliante II ).The emotion of heartbreak floods the whole piece. The description of a faded and destructor love, is reflected through metaphors (fire has been poured on your lips/ your vitreous look) and severity, making it the closest track to poetry.  The song is based on real-life experiences, according to  Medeline  for  Boite Noire  (Hatik's frecquent producer and composer) . This could explain its honesty and extreme sentimentality (the love was supossed to end when both lovers died) , which is emphasized by the use of Autotune.
